A blouse in black & white gives you the warmth of wool without the bulk of a full sweater, which is what makes it easy to layer under a saree or kurta.
Each one is hand-knitted in black & white — a slower process than machine knitting, but it's what gives the piece its distinct, textured look.
Finished as a free-size piece, it's cut to sit comfortably close to the body without feeling tight, working across a range of frames rather than needing an exact measurement match.
The wool used is soft and lightweight, so it holds up through a full day of wear without feeling scratchy or weighing you down.

Why a blouse instead of a regular sweater
A blouse in black & white gives you a middle option between a thin cotton top and a bulky sweater — enough warmth for winter, thin enough to layer under whatever you're already wearing.
Where it fits best
-
Cold mornings and evenings — warm enough on its own for a quick errand or a walk
-
Layering under ethnic wear — sits close to the body without bulking up a saree or kurta
-
Everyday winter wear — light enough to wear through a full day without overheating indoors
Fit notes
There's no fixed size chart to worry about here — the hand-knitted wool has enough stretch to fit different frames. If you'd rather have it tailored, just let us know when ordering.
Care instructions
Cold hand wash works best, though a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent is fine too — just wash it on its own. Avoid the iron, and dry it flat out of direct sunlight to protect the wool's colour and shape.
F&Q
Will this fit me if I'm not sure of my exact size?
Since this blouse is a stretch-to-fit free-size piece rather than a rigidly fitted one, it comfortably suits a wide range of builds. For a closer fit, custom sizing can be arranged.
Will the black & white shade match the photos exactly?
It'll be a close match to the black & white shown — handmade pieces can have slight natural variation in shade or pattern, which is expected and not a flaw.
Can I wear this under a saree or kurta?
It works well under a saree blouse too — the knit sits close to the body, so it layers under most necklines without an issue.
How do I wash it without damaging the wool?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or use a gentle machine cycle. Wash it separately, dry flat rather than hanging it, and avoid ironing altogether.
Is this piece in stock, or made to order?
This blouse design is hand-crafted to order, so it isn't sitting in bulk stock — place your order and we'll confirm the timeline.
